When do buyers begin to purchase on a normal buying trend post Christmas / New Years Eve?
Do you continue to list regardless? Business as usual?
If you hold back on listing - when do you start up again after the holidays?
Please post what you sell as it matters.
Thanks.

I wasn't planning on listing this week but last night I put up a test auction for Full Moon. I did a 3 day FPL with the Get it Fast option and it sold while I was sleeping!
So today I'm listing FPL for 3 days with the Get it Fast option and I sold 2 already, one less then 30 minutes after posting it
I sent a few eCloset store items to FPL the same as above but nothing yet.
I tried to add the 'Get It Fast' and it doesn't show up as an option. Oh well.
Congrats!
I think I will continue to list.
Anyone else?

Good for you! Think it's men getting the females in their lives an added bonus for Christmas..in the hopes that they might receive an added bonus, too! <wink>
I posted a few small items (earrings) with low opening bid and low, low shipping, just to get some people into my store. I figure women might want to buy something low cost for themselves--you know, after shopping for everyone else! I can't say the auctions are doing that great--but they still might. But I HAVE sold items from my store. So, all in all, it was a good thing.

I sell old junque and I am not launching any more auctions now. I still am working and saving listings to run on FLD or Dime Day or whatever we get graced with this year.

I threw a few items up and some have received bids. I don't think .99 cents works well overall. Unless you're eValueville - all nwt Macy's overstock type of inventory. Going low at $7.95 to $9.95 seems to work well. It depends on what you're selling.
Anyway, I'm getting ready for the new year as well.
Happy Holidays!

I tend to start all my auctions at 70 cents; basically what it costs me to list them. I don't take too many chances, though - I always research completed auctions for pricing and make sure a high win wasn't a fluke.
I list overstock cosmetic inventory, myself. I enjoy it a great deal
Good for you! Yes, testing is essential. I'm ready for a productive and porfitable year in 2006. Time to make my dreams a reality. A lot of work but I'm more than ready. I have a target goal in my mind's eye and that's it, I'm going to do it.
Keep the good news coming. It's so refreshing and appreciated.
